Source for notated version: Phil Gleeson of Coofree, near Ballorgan in the Co. Limerick, 1850's..."he had a memory richly stored with Irish airs, songs and folklore. He was a noted singer, and such an in imitable whistler that at some distance he was able to puzzle the best ear as to what sort of musical instrument he played" [Joyce].
